About The Venkmans:
The Venkmans were a bunch of outcast Punk Rock kids who formed while they were graduating highschool in 2000. They were also a bunch of marching band nerds, thats right, even the guys who don't play horns in the band are for the most part horn players! Now the same guys aren't kids anymore, they are Punk Rock adults. We think the music isn't what it should be anymore, and were gonna do our part to make music that celebrates life!! New music has lost that feeling, its time to bring it back, have fun at shows, actually dance, jump, and shout. This life is ending for you as we speak, Live damn you, Ska music!

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the support. It means a great deal - the past few months have been amazing. Great reviews, great shows up and down the country, airplay and interviews with Kerrang! Radio & Total Rock Radio, even a show at Alexandra Palace for Freestyle Festival has been confirmed.

Alexandra Palace will bring an end to our first major UK Tour. The tour leads up to the official release of our first EP proper, 'Guerilla'. This will be available everywhere on November 2nd.

If you're not too familiar with us yet, there are some reviews below and you can pick up some free downloads from our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/NIXA/8798900727).

Here are the dates (more to be confirmed).




See you out there x


"NIXA possess a quality that sets them apart from other front runners on the alt/rock scene with perfect dynamics and incredible song craft. They bounce between gentle and aggressive in a single beat, tied with soaring harmonies and mesmerising stage presence. This band will find themselves being listened to by a wide audience, no doubts in both the alternative and commercial rock scenes"
TOTAL ROCK

"...done very, very well. Deep, powerful voice, BIG music and just the feeling that something very professional is happening -I don't mean in a clinical way, just in that way that, when you find out they're unsigned, it's a bit of a shock!"
XFM

"The absolute epiphany of my weekend was London based Nixa. Everytime I see this band, I fall in love a little bit more. Their performance was stunning and it was definitely the climax of the night as things petered off afterwards. Their Biffy Clyro-esque style, gorgeous vocal harm
